More discoveries

Khubz started her new daycare and all is good. . . or will be sometime soon. . . surely.

Of course any change leads to more discoveries for both Khubz and the mommies.

• It's easier to be left in a new place by the mommies if that new place has tons of kids, a giant mirror and tons of brand new toys
• Eating a fist full of sand will make you spit up
• There are lots of people in the world who are able to care for Khubz while the mommies are at work
• Being left at daycare is easier on day one than it is on day two. At last report (10 minutes ago) she was a bit fussy but was, overall, fine
• Daycare two blocks away from our front door does make for a better morning.
• I was shamelessly thrilled when I walked into daycare to pick Khubz up yesterday and (though she'd been happily hanging-out before she saw me) she burst into tears as soon as she saw me. I know, I know. This will soon turn into tears that she doesn't want to go home with me since daycare clearly meets all of her needs so much better.
• I have serious hang-ups about the food Khubz eats
• Those hang-ups about food are connected to my control issues, ethnic guilt and endless angst about identity politics
• If "old-fashioned family values" weren't saturated with homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, judeo-christian legalism, nationalism and a bizzaro love of capitalism, I would actually consider myself pretty OFFV. For example, I was just about to put a bullet lamenting the eroding influence that the family has in this culture.

Hmm. The start of this list claimed that I would be listing discoveries for Khubz and the mommies. It seems this has degraded into yet another list about myself. Let me end with one more discovery--not even discovered at daycare--that Khubz is thrilled about: Her vulva.

• So that's what the diaper covers up! And is it ever fun!
